Republiclowns fold their tents - again!!----------Conservative Republicans Losing Steam on Default DareHouse Republican leadership appears to have quieted naysayers on their right who recently seemed hungry to threaten default and defy conventional arguments that such a hardline stance would trigger crisis.As the House prepares to take steps to push back the debt ceiling deadline until May, the debate within the party is still focused on how to achieve the GOP’s desired spending cuts using other less credit-threatening vehicles, such as the sequester or the soon-to-expire continuing resolution to fund the government.Even a Ways and Means Committee hearing on the history and mechanics of the debt ceiling -- which some had viewed last week as a platform to spread the message that refusing to raise the nation’s borrowing limit would not result in a devastating default -- seemed to be evaporating even before the hearing began.“I’m not sure how widely that view is held,” said Lee Casey, a partner, with Baker Hostetler, who is a leading voice arguing that the White House and Democrats’ arguments about the risks of default are bogus. He co-wrote a recent piece in the Wall Street Journal, arguing about the “myth of government default” and argues the framers of the Constitution intended the debt ceiling to be used as a “weapon.”“There are more who probably would prefer to see some form of a compromise that would raise the debt ceiling…. I don’t have a sense if there is a large number of people out there -- especially in Congress -- who would like to not raise it and test the theory.”Republican aides said a major focus of last week’s retreat was on defusing interest in using the debt ceiling as a weapon to achieve spending cuts, arguing it could be dangerous to the economy and backfire on Republicans.“Republicans very well understand that crisis we went through from not raising the debt ceiling and that was explained at Williamsburg,” said a GOP aide.Other budget wonks watching deliberations behind the scenes on Capitol Hill agree the arguments that default would not be disastrous seem to be waning, particularly at the behest of leaders and “old bulls” in the party.“There is growing recognition that not raising the debt ceiling would have an impact that would be very difficult for the economy,” said G. William Hoagland, a senior vice president with the Bipartisan Policy Center.“The discussion that happened down at Williamsburg had a lot to do with that evolution. I’m thinking that Paul Ryan had a lot to do with the discussion down there -- that he recognizes that the statutory debt ceiling is not something that you want to play around with.”

Still a stranger to facts, eh Dweeb??----------"CNN Fact Check: A day after Libya attack, Obama described it as 'acts of terror'""The facts: On September 12, the day after the attack that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, Obama said in comments in the Rose Garden that he had learned about the attack on the consulate the night before.Fact Check: What about the security in Benghazi?"Our country is only as strong as the character of our people and the service of those both civilian and military who represent us around the globe," he said. "No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done."----------You're repeating the lies that cost Rmoney the election.Works for me!!I enjoy you making yourself the fool. It does get old, though.<quoted text>

Again libtards and their lack of reading skills. He wasn't calling the attack n 'acts of terror'. He was talking generically of all attacks on the US.

Research might suggest that you Drink Me then Eat Me then look for the Mercury poisoned Hatter and the smiling Cat...whatever you do, do not believe the two fat guys that say something means whatever they say it means whenever they say it means it (obvious republicant).

I read along as you told that story, I always read your posts Flacko some are actually pretty sensible.

And, I want you to know that I had hoped someone else would ask but since no one did I will__what was the net net legal payoff on that horrific injury??? Enough for all involved to retire and take up lifestyles resembling hobbies.

Please don't be offended, I have a couple of friends who have managed to parlay tragedy into a grand lifestyle. Just being curious.

Look f*ckhead, calling women immoral for having babies out of wedlock is the same thing as calling them sluts.

I have further news, a fact might talk about the increase in the percentage of births out of wedlock. It does not call it a decline in morality . That was your buddy's Galt statement of opinion. Opinion not fact.

I guess if you wife asks you if she looks fat in that dress, just say no, it makes you look obese.
